NEW YORK -- While Giancarlo Stanton did his best to assimilate into the Yankees' clubhouse this spring, he also took time to share knowledge.

Top prospect Gleyber Torres, whom the Yankees called up for the firs time Sunday, was briefly one of Stanton's pupils, the pair spending time hitting together and talking about their craft in Tampa.

Stanton said Torres' swing stood out to him because of its similarity to the stroke of Javy Baez, the Cubs' 25-year-old star second baseman.

"It's a lot like -- really like Baez a little bit," Stanton said before Torres made his debut vs. the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. "I like how there's a lot going on but it's very precise. Some people are short and (don't have) that much movement but he's got some cool action in there and some pop at the end. It's cool."

"He's going to be good, man," the reigning 2017 National League MVP said. "He is good already."

Stanton and Torres already share something in common.

Both were highly regarded prospects who made national headlines when they debuted.

When the Yankees promoted Torres on Sunday, just about every major publication ranked him the club's best prospect. Baseball America ranked him the sixth best prospect in the game. MLB.com had him at No. 5.

Baseball America ranked Stanton the third best prospect in the sport in 2010.

"Just not to try to change anything, I guess," Stanton said when asked what advice he'd give Torres. "Coming up the biggest thing would be that you think it's a different game or you think you've got to change something because it's a new level. It's just a more precise level and a level with less room for mistakes. They make more mistakes down there."

Was that something with which Stanton dealt?

"I think we all have those moments for our first couple of years," he said. "You're still finding yourself. Still finding what type of player you are and what type of hitter you are."

Eventually, things . calmed down for Stanton, he said.

"You're hyped up," he said. "You've got everyone in your phone hitting you up. It's hard not to. But once you get in between the lines, it should settle down, at least after the first at-bat maybe."
